It looks like it is only sorting the last week's stories by karma, not every story in HN history. Which begs the question: is there a way to see every story by karma?

That's not what "begs the question" means.

The phrase you want is "suggests the question".

"Begs the question" means "a circular argument".

"Raises the question" also works (although suggests is certainly more correct).

Interesting, thanks for the correction. I've been using that wrong for quite some time. There's even a whole Wikipedia article devoted to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question
